Prepare to be whisked away to the scenic hills of sunny Italy where magic and adventure collide in a new adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s classic tale!

Geppetto, a lonely puppet maker, spends his days and nights at work in his shop consumed by one simple wish: the company of a son. His greatest dream is realized when his favorite creation, Pinocchio, is magically brought to life!

Without his strings, Pinocchio cannot be contained and leaves home to experience the thrills of life and freedom first-hand. But when the world turns out to be more trouble than he expected, Pinocchio realizes that he needs Geppetto just as much as Geppetto needs him.

Harold and Elsie live on an isolated farm out of unnamed town. A jet explodes 6 miles above, scattering debris over a 200 square mile area. The body of a young man, still strapped in his seat, lands in their yard. Over the course of the night they make a home around the body, and in doing so, the mysterious stranger effects a strange transformation in his hosts.

Falling: A Wake is a haunting and at times surprisingly funny play inspired by actual events.

This is a timeless story about star-crossed lovers told through the kaleidoscope of magical realism; a paper farm, a sugar mine, a thousand years in a single moment.

LIG & BITTLE

Lig & Bittle is about two people trying to find their place in a hard to-fit-in world.

Lig, who is big, and Bittle, who is little, are invited to Perfeckt Phitt — a mysterious place where they will fit in. On their adventure they discover many things about themselves, about friendship and about what it means to be different from those around you.

This engaging and energetic production celebrates the diversity in all of us.

“Lig & Bittle is a charmer of a physical comedy about the desire to blend in. The writing is deft, light, non-preachy and knowing.”
–Liz Nicholls, Edmonton Journal

Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece re-imagined

Two friends alone on a road, wait for someone who is sure to arrive. Today. Or tomorrow. Most definitely tomorrow. If not today.

A tree.

Wait. Eat. Juggle. Sing. Wait. Remove one’s boots. Wait. Repent. Embrace. Remove one’s hat. Wait. Do nothing. Dance. Sleep. Wait. Decide. Forget. Remember. Forget. Wait.

Repeat.

Wishbone tackles the most important play of the last hundred years. In our accelerated culture — full of information but wanting wisdom, having experience but missing the meaning — does Beckett’s masterpiece matter anymore? Do we ...?
